Study Notes

Marketing and Promotion

  • Marketing is a crucial part of the tourism and hospitality industry, allowing businesses to remain competitive and increase sales.
  • Marketing strategies help companies understand customer needs, develop products to satisfy those needs, and promote them effectively.
  • Companies use market segmentation to classify customers into subgroups with shared characteristics.
  • Tourism and hospitality have four main market segmentation types: travel motivation, demographic, geographic, and psychographic.
  • The target market is the potential buying audience for a product or service.
  • This audience changes depending on the product or service.
  • Marketers need to know who their market is and target their products/services accordingly.
  • This includes tailoring products to fit the needs of specific groups, like honeymoon couples and young adults.
  • Understanding these groups helps strategists develop new options based on customer needs.

Market Segmentation

  • Market segmentation is the grouping of customers into segments based on pre-defined characteristics.
  • These characteristics are used by tourism businesses to tailor their products or services to meet the demands in those segments.
  • This helps marketers determine how their products or services are marketed, focusing on how to meet the needs of the specific segment and how to communicate with that segment.
  • Segmenting the market has four types: travel motivation, demographic, geographic, and psychographic.

The Role of Marketing

  • Marketing plays a crucial role in the tourism and hospitality sector.
  • It allows companies to identify and analyze customer needs.
  • They are then able to plan and create products and services that satisfy those needs.
  • It is equally relevant to national tourism boards, tour operators, and tourist attractions.

Activities or Tasks
